Chocolate Banana Nut Muffins

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"These bake out very moist and rise high! Tiny chocolate chips may be subbed for the nuts. Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar, drizzle with a glaze or frost after baking. Which ever you decide, these are fantastic muffins!"

These were easy and tasty! I thought I'd fool my 12yo into eating "Banana Nut Muffins" by using this...he's a chocoholic! LOL...it didn't work. Nice change from the "same ol; same ol" BNM to making them with chocolate!! Yum! Thanks Kitten!!

Very very good dense muffins! They were appreciated by everyone at the office - managed to "steal" one (!!) and loved it! I didn't add any nuts because of co-workers allergies but will try them again soon with nuts (because I love them!). Thanks Kit!

Nice, dense muffin. I used 1 cup all-purpose and 1 cup whole-wheat PASTRY flour, and 1/3 cup brown sugar and 2/3 cup Splenda. I might add some cinnamon next time for a little added flavor.

Most yummy and moist. These didn't last the day. Also, I ended up with a baker's dozen even with filling the cups to the brim. Thank you for posting!
